But First, Let’s Woo

S2-E10: Court is in session (Part 1) - A royal tale of Pages and Knights

Welcome back, our cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨👑✨🔮✨
 
Today, we’re holding court in the grand halls of tarot wisdom, where the Pages whisper secrets and the Knights ride boldly into destiny.
That’s right—we’re starting our royal journey by exploring the messengers and movers of the tarot court: the Pages and the Knights. Are they wise novices, daring adventurers, or just a little bit chaotic? And more importantly… which one might you be channeling in your life right now?
So grab your deck, take a seat on the throne of self-discovery, and let’s pass judgment on tarot’s most curious (and most restless) characters. After all, when it comes to the court cards, the magic is always… in session.

S2-E9: Pet Tarot, familiars and a little divine nonsense

Welcome back, cosmic wanderers. 🎙️✨🕯️✨🧙‍♀️✨
Today, we’re shuffling the deck and calling on the spirits—furry ones, that is! That’s right—we’re diving headfirst into the mystical world of pet past lives and magical familiars. Was your dog once a noble steed? Was your cat a powerful witch’s right-hand in another life? And more importantly… what mystical creature should be your familiar in this one?
So grab your deck, give your pet a dramatic stare, and let’s pull some cards to uncover a little divine nonsense together. After all, magic has always been a little… familiar.

S2-E8: Reiki, and Breathwork, and Angel Cards…Oh my!

Welcome back, woo-crew! 🎙️✨🕯️✨🧙‍♀️✨
Today, we’re clearing our energy, taking a deep breath, and pulling a few cards—because we’re diving headfirst into a weekend of Reiki, Breathwork, and Angel readings … Oh My!
What happens when you step into a world of healing hands, powerful inhales, and messages from beyond? Is it a journey of self-discovery … or is it some really expensive napping? Did we walk away enlightened … or just really, really hydrated? Were the vibes immaculate? Did the angels have something to say? And most importantly… did we finally figure out how to actually meditate?
So grab a crystal, take a deep breath (or ten), and let’s get enlightened together. After all, a little magic never hurt anyone… right?
**********************************
About the practices we tried:
Reiki
Imagine Reiki as a cosmic spa treatment for your soul. 🌌✨ It's like having an invisible masseuse who channels universal energy through their hands to give your body and mind a gentle, yet powerful, tune-up.
Picture this: You're lying on a comfy bed, and the Reiki practitioner is waving their hands over you like a wizard casting spells of relaxation and healing. 🧙‍♂️✨ You might feel warmth, tingles, or even a sense of floating on a cloud. It's like your body's energy centers (your chakras) are getting a VIP pass to a rejuvenating party.
Reiki is all about balancing your energy, clearing out the bad vibes, and filling you up with good ones. It's a bit like hitting the reset button on your inner peace and harmony.
 
Breathwork
Imagine breathwork as a refreshing breeze for your soul. 🌬️✨ It's like giving your lungs a spa day, where each breath is a gentle massage that revitalizes your entire being.
Picture this: You're sitting comfortably, eyes closed, and you start to breathe deeply and rhythmically, as you listen to the guided instructions. It's like you're inviting waves of calm and clarity to wash over you. 🌊✨ With each inhale, you're drawing in fresh, positive energy, and with each exhale, you're releasing stress and tension. It's like your breath is a magical broom sweeping away the cobwebs of your mind.
Breathwork is all about harnessing the power of your breath to balance your energy, clear out the mental clutter, and fill you up with a sense of peace and vitality.
 
Angel Cards
Imagine angel cards as celestial postcards from your guardian angels. 🌟✨ Each card is like a little message from the universe, delivered with love and guidance.
Picture this: You're sitting down with a deck of beautifully illustrated cards, each one adorned with angelic figures and symbols. As you shuffle the deck, it's like you're dialing up the heavenly hotline for some divine advice. 📞👼
When you draw a card, it's like your angels are whispering sweet nothings in your ear, offering insights and encouragement. Maybe they're telling you to trust your intuition, embrace your inner strength, or simply reminding you that you're loved and supported. It's like getting a pep talk from your celestial cheerleaders. 🎉
Angel cards are all about connecting with your higher self and the spiritual realm, helping you navigate life's twists and turns with a little extra sparkle.
